Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

Explain how the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is used to determine soil shear strength?
Assuming the bedrock is impermeable, determine the time it took the clay layer to reach 90% consolidation after sand fill placement and after sand fill removal. Assume cv = 8 e-6 ft^2/s.
A 3 ft square footing carries a sustained load of 10.6kips. It is placed on the surface of a 30 ft thick saturated overconsolidated clay underlain by dense sand. Based on laboratory tests, the clay can be adequately modeled using the e-log-p method. The laboratory tests provide the following compressibility information for the clay: y = 123.4lb/ft³ Cc = 0.064 1+eo Cr 1+eo Aom = 920lb/ft² The groundwater table is located at the ground surface. Estimate the primary consolidation occurred in the clay layer. Solution: Preliminary Calculations: 1). It should be adequate to compute the compressibility to a depth of = 0.0024 2). Layer thickness = ft; 2). Bearing pressure at the bottom of the footing: q = Primary consolidation for each layer: a). Layer 1: 1). depth to layer midpoint = 2).
